Computer Engineering Program Objectives

The overall objective of the computer engineering program is to prepare individuals to be confident and successful in whatever path that they choose to pursue in the 21st century global economy. This includes those that move into practice within the computer discipline either through employment in industry or government, through a start up of their own, those that move on to advanced computer study and research in graduate school, or those that move into other professions such as law, business, or management.
